The Proof version is struck at the San Francisco Mint and the Uncirculated coin at the Denver Mint.

The gold $5 half eagle sold out of its maximum authorization of 50,000 coins within four days of the start of sales. The silver dollar’s maximum authorization of 400,000 coins was reported sold out within the first two weeks of sales.
